The weather looked fair at 11 am, so Fidget and I decided to brave it and head up to the recreation ground for the dog show. I wasn't going to enter him into anything, just getting him out and about. It had already taken us just over an hour to do a healthy person's 10 minute walk, so we rested and then I did enter him for golden oldie and best rescue. Sadly before best rescue, the heavens opened and we had spots, horizontal sheets and hail. Thank God for a few gazebos. We were soaked nonetheless and I was persuaded that home was the destination for me. We missed the best rescue class, but I know he is the best anyway. We were bundled into a car and then it stopped raining!!!!! To be on the safe side we went home. I'm very glad if I'm honest that we didn't have to walk home. Fidget has had a good rubdown and is now flat out under a lovely warm blanket that he was given.
It was lovely to get out. Lovely to talk to people and see friends that I haven't spoken to for ages, but perhaps it was asking a bit too much of myself to walk so far.....until the next time.
